When hosting an Olympic Games, a country has to take account of several considerations,
among which the financial one is by far the most important. The costs of hosting the
Olympics can (23) tens of billions of dollars, and it is commonplace
for budgets to double or even triple. In addition to the direct costs of hosting the Games
(the opening and closing ceremonies, athletes’ village, security, etc.), cities often must build
expensive new venues (24) lesser-known sports. Once constructed, sports
venues often incur additional maintenance costs long after the Games have ended. While
costs are the (25) ________concern for a host city, there are other factors to consider. For
one, an Olympic host city may receive substantial revenue from ticket sales, tourist
spending, corporate sponsorship, and television rights. Cities such as Los Angeles (1984)
and Seoul (1988) actually made a large profit from the Games they hosted. (26) ,
hosting the Olympic Games confers prestige on a host city and country, which can lead to
increased trade and tourism. The Olympics are also an opportunity to invest in projects

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.

Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the

various forms of body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is
important to note, however, that body languages varies in different cultures. Take for
example, eye movement. In the USA a child is expected to look directly at a parent or
teacher who is scolding him/her. In other cultures the opposite is true. Looking directly at
a teacher or parent in such a situation is considered a sign of disrespect.
Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is
distance. In North America people don’t generally stand as close to each other as in South
America. Two North Americans who don’t know each other well will keep a distance of
four feet between them, whereas South Americans in the same situation will stand two to
three feet apart. North Americans will stand closer than two feet apart only if they are
having a confidential conversation or if there is intimacy between them.
Gestures are often used to communicate. We point a finger, raise an eyebrow, wave
an arm – or move any other part of the body - to show what we want to say. However, this
does not mean that people all over the world use the same gestures to express the same
meanings. Very often we find that the same gestures can communicate different meanings,
depending on the country. An example of a gesture that could be misinterpreted is
sticking out the tongue. In many cultures it is a sign of making a mistake, but in some
places it communicates ridicule.
The dangers of misunderstanding one another are great. Obviously, it is not enough
to learn the language of another culture. You must also learn its non-verbal signals if you
want to communicate successfully.
(Adapted from “Reading Academic English” by Judy Rapoport, Ronit Broder and
Sarah Feingold)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.

The green building movement, started in the 1970s as a way to reduce environmental
destruction, is changing the way buildings are constructed. In the early years, green
builders were a small minority, and their goals of reducing the environmental impact of
buildings were considered unrealistic. Now, however, the movement is growing, as
builders have been able to take advantage of new technology.
Green builders try to make use of recycled materials, which means less waste in
dumps. Also, they reduce environmental impact by reducing the energy requirements of a
building. One way is to provide an alternative, non-polluting source of energy. First, with
solar panels, it is possible to produce electricity from the rays of the sun. Once installed,
they provide energy at no cost and with no pollution.
Another solution is to reduce the amount of energy required in a building. It is possible to
cut electricity use noticeably by improving natural lighting and installing low-energy light
bulbs. To reduce the amount of fuel needed for heating or cooling, builders also add
insulation to the walls so that the building stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
One example of this advanced design is the Genzyme Center of Cambridge, the most
environmentally responsible office building in America. Every aspect of the design and
building had to consider two things: the need for a safe and pleasant workplace for
employees and the need to lessen the negative environmental impact. 75 percent of the
building materials were recycled materials, and the energy use has been reduced by 43
percent and water use by 32 percent, compared with other buildings of the same size.
In other parts of the world, several large-scale projects have recently been developed
according to green building principles. One of these is in Vauban, Germany, in an area
 VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu

that was once the site of army housing. The site has been completely rebuilt with houses
requiring 30 percent less energy than conventional ones. These houses, heated by special
non-polluting systems, are also equipped with solar panels.
A larger project is under way in China. The first phase of this project will include
houses for 400 families built with solar power, non-polluting bricks, and recycled wall
insulation. In a second phase,
entire neighborhoods in six cities will be built. If all goes well, the Chinese government
plans to copy these ideas in new neighborhoods across China.
Green building ideas, on a small or large scale, are spreading. Individuals,
companies, and governments are beginning to see their benefits. Not only are they
environmentally friendly, green buildings improve living and working conditions and also
save money in the long run.

Linda Jeffries)
